America: A Prodigy of Stereotypes

“That’s good. It’s a good thing I don’t have a girlfriend or a fiancée,” Tony Stark said.

After Steve and Sharon explained the situation, they began their work as temporary bodyguards for the day.

Today, Tony Stark will be visiting Osborn Industries with other important figures, while Colonel Rhodes will also become a super soldier representing the Air Force today through Osborn's super soldier serum.

Tony Stark's reason for staying in New York during this time was to wait for his friend Rhodes to become a super soldier.

Chapter 385 Wanting to Fly to the Sky

On a golf course outside New York, Colonel Rhodes was conducting a private physical fitness test, while Tony Stark chased after him in a golf cart.

"Rhodes, you run really fast."

"Watch out ahead, don't overturn," Colonel Rhodes warned.

Rod easily accelerated and overtook Tony Stark's golf cart.

Rod ran to the edge of the golf course, catching his breath as he waited for Tony to bring the car over.

“Did you know? The fastest runner in the world is a black man,” Rod said to Tony.

"Are you sure you want to participate in that program?" Tony asked Rhodes as he got out of the car.

“Project Falcon,” Rhodes said.

"How about we call it Project Icarus?" Tony suggested.

"Don't worry, I won't fly towards the sun," Rhodes laughed.

“I’m worried you’ll fall to the ground and kill yourself,” Tony said.

“I’m already a super soldier. Others might fall to their deaths, but I’ll at most be seriously injured, and I can even heal myself,” Rhodes said.

"Giving people wings has been a dream that has lasted for thousands of years, and now, that dream will come true."

"Don't make it sound so noble. In my opinion, it's not even as practically useful as Osborn's manned hang glider," Tony Stark said.

"Are you having trouble sleeping? Osborn is about to steal the military's top partner status," Rhodes said.

“I’m not worried about that. It’s Obadiah who’s having trouble sleeping,” Tony Stark said.

"Can I join your Falcon Program?"

“I’ll redesign your flight wings,” Tony Stark said.

"How did you find out about this project?" Rod asked, arms crossed.

“I have my own intelligence channels,” Tony Stark replied.

“I don’t believe you have anyone in the military with a better relationship than me,” Rhodes said.

“Okay, don’t tell anyone, I hacked into your system and looked up some things,” Tony Stark said.

"When?"

"Just recently, when the super recruitment ads started airing on TV."

Do you know what I saw?

"Those people in the War Department have been messing around for almost sixty years, ever since they joined World War II, they've been thinking about creating super soldiers."

“Just like humanity’s obsession with having wings,” Tony Stark said.

"I saw that Nazi Germany developed it during World War II, and then the Soviet Union succeeded in it in the 1980s."

"Are we the slowest?" Rod asked.

"It seems so, but the truth is they've figured out something even more dangerous."

"They created a Hulk."

“You need medication to calm your nerves, and the green color of the serum is all a damn remnant of that project,” Tony Stark said.

“Alright.” Colonel Rhodes spread his hands.

He felt that taking the medicine wasn't a bad thing; on the contrary, he felt much calmer than before and was no longer troubled by his previous anxiety.

"This is not good at all..."

Tony Stark looked away.

Rhodes became a super soldier, and even his body ended up in the hands of the military, which Tony felt was unfair.

"It's already the 21st century, why are we still sending people to the battlefield?" Tony Stark asked.

"Because in complex terrain, missile bombardment cannot completely wipe out the enemy, and manpower is still the most effective weapon," Rhodes said.

“I will solve this problem,” Tony Stark said.

Rod shook his head; what he said was only one aspect of the reason.

Only those who have breathed the enhanced serum know how comfortable it is to become a "superman".

Theoretically, he would remain at the peak of his physical function, rarely get sick, and only begin to age near the end of his life, just like a bird.

"Hulk wants to fly!!"

Hulk clenched his fists and made a new demand of Dr. Banner.

"This is a flight spell. Once you learn it, you can fly."

"Hulk has seen Banner fly with this spell; it's a spell for crawling in the air," Hulk retorted mercilessly.

"How fast do you want to fly?" Bruce Banner tilted his head and asked Hulk.

"Like this..."

Hulk pointed to the anime "Dragon Ball Z" playing on the TV, which was showing Gohan teaching Videl how to control "ki" and learn to fly.

Hulk's intelligence is at the same level as that of an elementary school student, and he has watched the Dragon Ball anime that Li Qun gave him several times. Hulk never gets tired of watching the Dragon Ball anime.

"Hulk, you need to learn to control your breath."

"You know, Li Qun can control air, he will teach you to fly."

Dr. Banner made a decision in a second: the problem was caused by Li Qun, so Li Qun should be held responsible.

Hulk became so engrossed in watching the Dragon Ball anime that his perception of the real world became distorted.

Goku, the Saiyan, truly transformed into a Super Saiyan out of anger, defeating the arrogant cosmic emperor Frieza. Hulk also felt that Goku and Banner had Saiyan blood within them, and that they inherited the bloodline of the "Legendary Super Saiyan," just like Broly.

Banner's earliest memory of Hulk was that he resembled King Kong, not only in terms of physique after transformation, but also in his mindset.

But now, Hulk is not satisfied with his physique. He wants to look like Broly, not like a Saiyan gorilla.

“Liqun itself can’t fly,” Hulk said.

"Because Li Qun is too weak, his fighting power is about the same as Master Roshi's."

"Hulk, you know I can see the future."

"Liqun Group has indeed taken off in the future."

"Maybe it was your encouragement that made him take flight?" Bruce Banner said.

“Banner is right…” Hulk stroked his chin, deep in thought.

“Now, call Li Qun over,” Hulk said.

“No, Hulk, Lillian is in class right now,” Banner said.

"Does he attend school like Gohan? Does his mother require him to attend?" Hulk asked.

"look."

Dr. Banner raised his hand and changed the TV channel, showing a scene of Li Qun taking a class.

The crowded lecture hall and the serious classroom made Hulk realize that the scene of Li Qun's class was similar to what he had seen in "Dragon Ball".

"Hulk and Li Qun are fired," Hulk said.

Bruce Banner wrote a note and sent it to the Kamar-Taj Library.

The note asked Master Wang to help collect some flying-related spells, specifying that it was to teach Liqun how to fly.

Inside the Kamar-Taj Grand Library, Old Wang frowned.

Learning flight spells is actually very difficult. Most mages cannot fly using spells and usually rely on magical items to fly. Flying is also prohibited in some magical environments.

"It would be better to make a flying broomstick," the mage Lao Wang complained.

Old Wang compiled the crafting methods for flying magic items for Banner, adding them as an elective part of the flying spell course.

Chapter 386 Guiding Takeoff

“The Mid-Autumn Festival is on a Saturday, so of course I will come back to celebrate, Uncle.”

"Even if I'm gone for a day, do you think they'll starve to death?"

Li Qun was on the phone with his uncle, but Peter and Gwen were secretly observing him. When they heard that Li Qun was going home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, a traditional festival in China, they felt that it was time for them to go home and visit their families again.

After finishing his phone call with his uncle, Li Qun turned to look at Peter and Gwen, and he could feel their gazes.

"I will bring you mooncakes," Li Qun said.

“I think we can go home while we’re at it,” Gwen said.

“I feel like time is flying by,” Peter said.

"Do you need me to take you to your doorstep?" Li Qun asked.

“I want to buy some mooncakes for my dad to try,” Gwen said.

“Why don’t we all go to Chinatown with Li Qun, buy what we need, and then go home separately?” Peter suggested.

“Good idea,” Stephanie said.

"What are the traditions of the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Stephanie asked curiously. Last year, she only ate mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was her only impression of Aurora Mid-Autumn Street.

“Reunite with family, eat mooncakes together, admire the moon together, that’s all,” Li Qun said to Stephanie.
